Which Cross-Shaft Bushing Bolt length do I need for my vehicle?

It depends on your bell housing. Use the 14mm bolt for OEM bell housings and the 18mm bolt for late-style aluminum bell housings.

What is the advantage of using the 18mm bolt over the 14mm version?

The 18mm bolt provides more thread engagement, which makes it less likely to strip out compared to the shorter option.

Will the 18mm bolt fit any aluminum bell housing?

No, the 18mm bolt is designed specifically to fit the new aluminum late-style Heavy Duty Aluminum Bell Housing only.

Which years are compatible with this locating bolt?

This bolt works with Type2 Bus and Vanagon models from 1976 through 1991.

This is the locating bolt for the cross-shaft bushing.

We offer it in two lengths, 14mm for the OEM bell housing and a longer 18mm length for the late-style aluminum bell housings. The additional length on the 18mm bolt provides more thread engagement, which means it is less likely to strip out. We call that an upgrade!

Fit note: 18mm fits new aluminum late-style Heavy Duty Aluminum Bell Housing only.
